The Tigers had 8 regular senior players unavaliable for the game and needed to rely heavily on reserve grade players to make up the numbers for a match up against a desperate Saints outfit.
Although the Tigers looked to have the game wrapped up heading into the final quarter with a lead of 51 points, the Saints fought back to kick 7 goals to the Tigers 3 to narrow the defeat by only 28.
Final Scores:
Grafton Tigers: 7.3 10.5 14.13 17.15 (117)
Sawtell Saints: 1.5 4.7 6.10 13.11 (89)
